Grant Description

The goal of this project is to preserve, through a series of oral histories and documentation research, three sites (Kossining, Dominghia and Farringhia) associated with the Rio Pongo. The Rio Pongo is a crossroad in Western Africa and a sub-regional trading center, which included the slave trade.
